Proposal to 'score' civil servants according to 4 levels, directly linked to party member classification
The Government's draft Decree on evaluating and classifying civil servants is being consulted, with many new regulations linking civil servants' public service responsibilities with the classification of party members, tightening discipline and order within the team.
According to the draft, civil servant evaluation results will be conducted monthly, based on both qualitative criteria (political qualities, ethics, service attitude) and quantitative criteria (KPI on quantity, quality, work progress). Of which, 70% is based on task performance results, 30% on qualities, attitudes, and public service discipline.
Notably, the civil servant classification results are used in conjunction with the party member classification, creating consistency in the evaluation of cadres, civil servants, and party members. This means that if a civil servant (who is also a party member) is disciplined or classified as not completing his/her tasks, it will directly impact the evaluation results within the party organization.
In addition, the draft stipulates that civil servants who are subject to party or administrative discipline during the year will be classified as "not completing their tasks", except in special cases.
The rate of civil servants classified as "excellent in completing tasks" must not exceed the rate of party members achieving this level in the same unit.
Civil servants with innovative initiatives, or agencies with outstanding achievements that exceed the plan will be considered for an increase in the rate of excellent completion.
The evaluation principles emphasize objectivity, transparency, no favoritism, no suppression or bias, and the application of digital technology and management software for continuous monitoring.
With the new regulation, the Government expects that the evaluation of civil servants will become more substantial and fair, thereby screening and improving the quality of the team, building professional, responsible, dynamic, creative civil servants, better serving the people and businesses...
Public ranking results
The Government's new draft Decree stipulates that civil servants will be evaluated on a monthly and quarterly scale and their quality will be classified into four levels:
Excellent performance: 90 points or more.
Complete the task well: From 70 to under 90 points.
Complete the mission: From 50 to under 70 points.
Failure to complete tasks: Below 50 points, or violation of discipline, signs of degradation, "self-evolution", "self-transformation", violation of what party members are not allowed to do, being disciplined from reprimand or higher, or the agency under one's management allows corruption and waste to occur.
The classification process and procedures will go through the following steps: Civil servants prepare self-assessment reports; organize collective meetings at the agency to comment, give opinions, and make minutes; collect opinions from the Party Committee; the organization and personnel advisory agency synthesizes and verifies the scores.
The competent authority decides and publicizes the results (priority is given to publicizing in the electronic environment).
The new regulation aims to evaluate civil servants transparently and objectively, closely linked to discipline, order and public service responsibility.
